About REGBX

American Funds Emerging Markets Bond Fund Class R-2 is an actively managed mutual fund focused on sovereign and corporate debt from developing economies. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of total return over the long term, with current income as a significant component. The portfolio is predominantly allocated to non-U.S. bonds, with substantial exposure to non-U.S. government and agency securities alongside emerging-markets corporate issuers, complemented by a smaller allocation to U.S. bonds and cash. The strategy employs a multimanager approach, seeking diversified country, sector, and credit exposures across hard-currency instruments, with regular monthly distributions. Key characteristics as of mid-2025 include a moderate effective duration near the intermediate range, an average yield to worst indicative of income orientation, and a portfolio spanning more than 175 issuers. The fund sits within the Emerging Markets Bond category and is benchmarked against broad emerging-markets debt and U.S. aggregate bond indices for context on risk and return behavior. This vehicle is designed for retirement plan platforms, offering accessibility with no stated minimum initial investment and systematic income payments.
